Alma Sweater Light is an oversized sweater with bold cables and a soft, airy feel. It’s worked seamlessly top-down, with drop shoulders, wide sleeves, and a relaxed fit. The neckline is worked in twisted rib, while the sleeves and body are finished in pattern to preserve the garment’s overall aesthetic. The large cables add texture and depth, making Alma Sweater Light a perfect piece if you want to feel both comfortable and stylish.
The sweater begins with the back, worked flat and shaped with short rows for a better fit. Stitches are then picked up for the shoulders, also shaped with short rows, and eventually joined to form the front. The front is worked flat, before being joined with the back to form the body. The body is worked in the round. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are worked in the round. The neckline is worked in twisted rib and folded double for a neat and sturdy finish.
